    I really love when historians discuss the daily life, economy, and traditions of a specific era.
  • @NotMyName888
    I am delighted to learn that Ancient Romans brought little tailgating grills to the Colosseum. That makes my day.
  • @kaitlynoddie9649
    shocking lack of comments about the fact that ancient romans’ favourite position was cowgirl
  • @TheNightEyes
    She has so much PASSION for the subject it’s contagious!
  • @Masada1911
    Huh I was just thinking about the roman empire. What a coincidence.
  • @pyrob2142
    So a vomitorium basically vomits people out of a stadium really quick? Still a fitting name.
  • @Julianaao2601
    We need a ancient Greek, Aztec and Mayan experts next please!! This was soooo interesting
  • @tannerwest92
    i don't think when someone asks who was the best roman emperor they're asking about how nice of a person they were i believe they're masking how effective an emperor they were for the prosperity of Rome As a whole.
  • She's so articulate in her explanations. I love how she explains the life expectancy and women's rights in terms of how progressive it was for the time, but how it also had its shortcomings.
  • Could you do a video about ancient Egypt next? This was extremely interesting and informative!
  • @renegadepuppy
    Can you please do one on the Indus Valley civilization next ? Especially given they pioneered underground sewage system around 2000 BCE, it would be interesting to understand what archaeologists think about it.
  • @emilyniedbala
    Fun fact: we DO still call them Vomitoriums in theatre! (Though we do most often just say “vom” for short)
  • She gives so much detailed into without it stretching forever. Love her energy and how she explains things
  • @cdawg_sf
    I would love to take a class with this prof. Her energy makes the subject so interesting
  • @garak55
    If I'm being real with you, I think of the Roman Republic way more often than of the later Empire.
  • @brandonkey181
    Part 2 please!!! This woman is great at explaining this topic and is super knowledgable
  • I know she’s a professor and literally an expert on Rome but wow she is incredibly intelligent. The depth to which she was able to answer these finite questions is remarkable. What a brilliant scholar, respect to you Dr. Ginsburg
  • @abrahamk9
    So Gladiators were the ancient world's WWE wrestlers.
  • @willelliott2671
    Wow, these are usually fun but Dr. Ginsberg is particularly great. She's so engaging and her enthusiasm for the subject is really infectious.
